The role of parenting self-efficacy in childrenś social and academic behavior

The Role of Social Competence in the Psychological Well-being of Adolescents in Secondary Education

“…Based on recent research, one possible predictor for an individual's psychological wellbeing could be social competence (Junttila et al, 2007;Mazza et al, 2010;Segrin et al, 2007) and the role of cooperating skills has been found to be especially significant (Junttila & Vauras, 2009). Hence, the most important element of an adolescent's social competence (relating to high self-esteem and absence of depression and burnout) seems to be adequate cooperation skills.…”

Enhancing Positive Parenting Through Metacognition with the Program ‘Lou & us’

“…A low correlation has also been demonstrated between negative parental control, including coercion, harsh discipline and authoritarian parenting, and positive outcomes for children (Gershoff et al 2012;Lansford et al 2011). With regard to parental beliefs, strong empirical evidence has been found of concurrent and longitudinal associations between strong self-efficacy beliefs (defined as the beliefs caregivers hold about their ability to parent successfully), and positive outcomes for children (Coleman and Karraker 1998;Junttila et al 2007). Finally, with regard to environmental features, empirical evidence has been found of associations between coparenting (defined as the extent to which the two parents cooperate as a team in rearing their children in a predictable and non-contradictory way which does not undermine each other's efforts) and positive outcomes for children (Feinberg and Kan 2008;Feinberg et al 2007).…”

Stimulating parents' self-efficacy beliefs or verbal responsiveness: Which is the best way to decrease children's externalizing behaviors?

“…In addition to such indirect influence, parental self-efficacy has been directly related to better adjustment in children of all ages (Ardelt & Eccles, 2001;Coleman, 2003;Jones & Prinz, 2005). Strong empirical evidence has been provided for concurrent and longitudinal associations between high self-efficacy beliefs and children's behavioral adjustment, or conversely for low self-efficacy beliefs and EB (Janssens, 1994;Jones & Prinz, 2005;Junttila, Vauras, & Laakkonen, 2007;Mouton & Tuma, 1988;Oelofsen & Richardson, 2006). Highly confident parents are likely to be more secure when interacting with their child, so that they enjoy the interaction more, are reaffirmed in their relationship and seek to spend frequent quality time together.…”
